How 
the System 
Works 
Unless  disabled,  the  URPA will turn on automatically 
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE  (R). 
When the system  turns  on,  the three lights on  the 
display  will  illuminate for  one  and  a  half  seconds  to let 
you  know  that  the system is working. If your vehicle 
is  moving  in REVERSE  (R)  at a  speed  greater 
than 
3 
mph 
(5 
km/h),  the  red light will flash to remind 
you  that the system  does not work at speed greater than 
3 
mph 
(5 
km/h). 
If  an  object is detected at a REVERSE  (R)  speed  of 
less than 
3 
mph (5 km/h),  one  of  the following will occur:

When the System 
Does 
Not 
Seem 
to 
Work Properly 
The light may flash red when  the  vehicle 
is 
in 
REVERSE  (R) 
if 
the ultrasonic sensors are not kept 
clean. 
So 
be sure to keep your rear  bumper free 
of 
mud, 
dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other conditions that may 
affect system  performance  include things like  the 
vibrations from a  jackhammer  or the compression of 
air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning 
the rear bumper and then driving forward at least 
15 mph 
(25 
km/h), the display continues to flash red, 
see your dealer. 
If  a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or  a  bicycle or 
an object was  on  the back  of,  or hanging out of your 
liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may 
also flash red.  The  light will continue to flash whenever 
in REVERSE  (R)  until your vehicle is driven forward 
at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without  any obstructions 
behind the vehicle.

URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate level. 
In 
order  for  the  rear sensors to recognize an object, 
it must  be within detection range behind the vehicle.
